It will probably bea great surprise | Why | to Judge Jones of the criminal bench | ot the common pleas court to know | that his seat in the court room is j occupied at night by another, but | such seems to be the fact. The case | is very mysterious. Late in the | evening, on Thursday of last week, ' the fireman in the county buildings | went up in the criminal court room | in the court house on Seneca street | to turn on the vents in the registers. The high, gloomy room with the | fitful shadows from the electric lights | across the way were not calculated to inspire confidence in a timid man, but he had no tear ot harm, and | knew that there was no one in the | building at that hour but himself. As he went toward one ot the regis- ters and was turning on the steam, | he observed a man sitting behind the Judge’s desk. The intruder was ; motionless and appeared to be look- }ing toward the fireman, who was somewhat nervous, but, thinking some tramp might have broken in | to find a cosy retreat, he spoke up boldly, saying: ‘*You “5 what are you doing there?” There was no answer, and then in a flash the thought entered his mind that two years ago Watchman Carroll had seen sights in the tunnel, as the dark passageway under the jail 1s called,and inthe criminal court room. Was it the ghost of McGill, the man who had last received the death sentence in that room? He remem- bered how the former watchman had seen a strange figure at different times and had been slapped in the face in a mysterious way by some- body or something which had as rapidly vanished into air. Notwith- standing the horrible thought which oppressed him, he advanced and turned the bullseye of his dark lantern full upon the tace of the mysterious thing—and it was gone, dissolved in mist. The fireman made the best of his way to the furnace down below, his curiosity all gone, See O'Conor in Richelieu at opear house Thursday might, Dec. 30 Admission, D. C. 50, Parq. 35, Gal. 25. ]. W.

Duke and John Spaw are feeding fifty head at home, and we hear ot a few others in the township who are feeding. Our schools are generally reported as doing well this winter. The fine weather this fall has been improved by many of our farmers in breaking their ground, thus having it ready tor spring. We had the pleasure of attending the first party of the season on Fri- @ay night last, at the residence ot Mr. Oscar Reeder, our worthy county treasurer.

The Man With a Tail. A tew weeks ago the Gazette published an article to the effect that there was a man living near this city who had a tail nine inches long. It gave his name as Judge Cameron then and stated that he had been county judge of this county. Since then several letters—one being trom far off San Francisco—have come to the post-office’here addressed to Judge Thea. There is nosuch man here. Itis a tact, however, there was aman, and he was a county judge, too, who lived a few miles north of here, who sported such an appendage, but he has been away trom here for some time, having settled in Nebraska.—Oregon Lead- er.

The orator had spoken but a few sentences when Flowery called out: ‘*Helloa, Bill!’’ “Why, how are you, Flowery?’ ‘Say, Bill, what about that pen- sion? 1 hain’t got a mickel yit. Didn’t tend to 1t, did you?”’ x “Oh, yes. I'll see you privately atter awhile.” “Never mind; see me right now. Why hain’t they sent the money?’’ “Flowery, I tell you that I’ll see you in private,”’ “Yes, I understand you. You want me to take a drink with you and call it square.”’ “No I don’t. You’d better wait.’ “Dll be blamed it I do. Spit it right out now. I don’t want no foolishness and ef you’ye neglected me airter I had dun voted for you, I want to know it.’’ ‘*Flowery,’’ Slemons still persist- ed, ‘‘just wait until | make my speech and I’il tell you why you haven’t received your pension.” “I'll be blamedifIdo. I’ve been waitin’ two years an’ have been talkin’ you up all the time, and I'll be hanged 1t I’m going to wait any longer, so out with it now andlet all these tolks know that you’ve dun went back on your word.”’ “All right, Flowery. I put in your claim and atter the matter had been investigated it was found that you were a deserter.” Flowery took off his hat,scratched his head and replied: ‘““W’y, dad blame it, ain’t they forgot that yit? Wy, Bill, that was more’n forty years ago. Hump! wouldn’t begrudge the finest hoss in the county if I could ncolleck tool things as well as this Gov’ment ken.

About two years ago a cancerous sore made its appearance on my face, and as my ancestors on both sides had been afflicted with cancers, I was filled with gravest apprehen- sions. The future was overcast with dark shadows, and in grouping about in search of reliet¢ my attention was called to Swift’s Specific (S. S. S. ) I concluded at once to test it, and did so with the happiest results. The sore disappeared, and my face is well. My mother had a cancer on the Nose, and it was eating away that organ with alarming rapidity, I sent her one dozen bottles of Switt’s Specific, which she used according to directions. The sore soon ceased to eat, and all inflammation disap- peared, and the great hole made by the cancer closed up and healed over completely. My mother is now well, and has been tor over a year. T.S.
